At the Chamber, we celebrate leadership, excellence, and the unwavering commitment to community and service that define the very best of Hunterdon County’s business community. The Business of the Year Award is one of the Chamber’s most prestigious honors—recognizing a company that not only excels in its field but also uplifts those around it.

It is with great pride that the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce presents this year’s Business of the Year Award to Norris McLaughlin, P.A.

Norris McLaughlin is not just a law firm—it’s a legal institution that has grown with its clients, earned their trust, and supported their success for over 70 years. Originally established as a modest two-attorney practice in Somerville, New Jersey, Norris McLaughlin has evolved into the largest law firm in Somerset County. Today, with over 115 attorneys practicing in more than 30 legal disciplines and industry-focused groups, they provide high-quality, comprehensive legal counsel to a wide range of clients—from family-owned businesses and private individuals to Fortune 500 companies.

What sets Norris McLaughlin apart is not only the breadth of their capabilities—covering both national and international legal matters—but the depth of their commitment to their clients. They are more than just attorneys under one roof. They are partners, collaborators, and trusted advisors—laser-focused on delivering efficient, practical, and client-centered legal solutions.

In response to their clients’ evolving needs, Norris expanded its geographic footprint by merging with like-minded firms in New York City in 1999 and the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania in 2009. These strategic expansions—along with their involvement in international law firm networks—have positioned them to serve clients wherever they need legal guidance, offering a full spectrum of support across state lines and global markets.

Whether completing a complex business transaction, offering guidance during everyday operations, or standing up in a courtroom to advocate fiercely on behalf of their clients—Norris McLaughlin is a firm that delivers results. They bring niche industry knowledge to large corporations and deep experience and insight to small and family-owned businesses looking to grow and thrive.

But perhaps most importantly, Norris McLaughlin embodies what it means to be a community partner. Their approach to service—entrepreneurial, collaborative, and always focused on the long-term success of their clients—has earned them a reputation as not only exceptional legal professionals, but as business partners who truly care.

On behalf of the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce, it is our honor to recognize this legacy of excellence, leadership, and unwavering dedication.

Congratulations to Norris McLaughlin, P.A., the 2025 Business of the Year!
